MANCHESTER UNITED star Casemiro reveals he is so obsessed with football that it winds up his wife.
The Brazilian ball-winning midfielder, 30, signed from Real Madrid for a whopping £70million in the summer window.
The Red Devils new man admits he watches games back THREE OR FOUR times as he analyses his performances.
The five-time Champions League winner told Man Utd’s official site how he pours over the stats and footage after the game.
He said: “I look at [post-match stats] a lot and I enjoy it.
“I think I watch through my games three or four times over. Yes, it’s the way you learn and develop by correcting errors. I think it’s key to continue evolving in football.

“I watch a lot of football. I love it. My wife gets a bit annoyed, as there is only football on at home!
“Football is my passion, it’s my soul and I believe that’s been the key to my success. I love football. I love watching football.”
Wife Anna Mariana – who he has been married to for eight years – is also a seriously hard-worker.
The 33-year-old Brazilian has enjoyed success in different fields from make-up to modelling, all while helping to raise two young children.

Anna met Casemiro while the midfielder played for Sao Paolo, with reports suggesting the pair began dating in 2011.
They married three years later on July 28, 2014, in front of their friends, family members and several of Casemiro’s team-mates.
Prior to getting married Anna graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration.
She has since worked as a make-up artist and has launched her own business.
Anna also has a big interest in fashion and works as a model on Instagram – when she is not busy being a mum.
The couple have two children together – daughter Sara, six, and young son Caio, who turns one later this year.

Anna is also believed to have a net worth of £423,000 according to Wfoot, but that is dwarfed by her husband’s annual salary of £8.9million.
And the Brazilian has doubled his earnings since completing a move to United where he receives a weekly wage of £300,000.
